What types of gifts can you leave in your Will?

After you have provided for your friends and family in your Will, give a percentage of the remainder of your estate — as little as 5% or 10% can make a huge difference. And this type of bequest won’t lose value over time.

Already have a Will?

If you already have a Will and now wish to include a gift for Oxfam, your solicitor can help you amend the Will — all you have to do is make a “codicil”.

When you visit your solicitor, take a copy of our wording with you and they can simply update your existing Will.

Wording for your Will

To include a gift to Oxfam Australia in your Will, the wording below is most effective. Please take this wording with you when you visit your solicitor.

“I give, devise and bequeath, free of all duties and taxes, *____________________________________ to Oxfam Australia (ABN 18 055 208 636) of 130-138 Leicester Street, Carlton Victoria 3053 for its general purposes. An authorised receipt from Oxfam Australia will be a sufficient discharge for the executor(s) or trustee without seeing to the final distribution of the funds.”
